Tilgul shenga vadi recipe - Ellu bellada vadi - Sesame peanut burfi

Tilgul shenga vadi recipe - Wishing you all a very happy Makar Sankranti. It is Makar Sankranti today and I made this sesame jaggery vadi to celebrate the occasion. In Karnataka and Maharashtra there is a custom to distribute til or sesame seeds and guld or jaggery and haldi, kumkum during makar sankranti. Women usually prepare tilgul vadi and tilgul ladoo at home and invite married women for haldi, kumkum. Tilgul vadi is a traditional Maharashtrian barfi made from sesame seeds, peanuts and jaggery. It can be prepared using sugar instead of jaggery. But sugar syrup makes vadi crunchy and slightly hard where jaggery makes it soft. I chose softer version of vadi, so used jaggery in this sweet. You can use half sugar and half jaggery to make it slightly crunchy.
